Premonition vs. Spine Chill: What’s the difference?

I mainly use Spine Chill because I feel like it’s more reliable. I don’t see the benefit of Premonition as to me it’s a much less reliable Spine Chill. Is there something to Premonition that I’m not seeing that other benefit from?

    They synergize together. Spine chill tells you when the killers coming toward you, you can then use premonition to know from which direction hes coming and run the other way. Also run lithe and quick and quiet. Youll be on the otherside of the map before he realizes he missed you.

    Ive never done this but it actually spunds kind of fun...

    Spine Chill lets you know if the Killer's looking at you while 36m or closer, while also giving you a slight buff to most actions and 10% more skillchecks. Premonition lets you know what direction a Killer is in within 36m, and is on a cooldown.

    I prefer Spine Chill cause it's more useful and is used more often, but Premonition can help on occasion. Its like if Small Game and Spine Chill had a baby, but the baby got almost none of the good attributes from either parent.

    It basically only tells you where the killer is coming from but it has the incredibly terrible drawback of accidentally activating whenever the killer goes past you and then rendering it useless.

    Spine chill though will always be my go to perk

    Spine chill is far more reliable and gives you an speed boost, nuff said.

    Spine Chill - when the killer looks at you.

    Premonition - when you look at the killer.
